Same problems that exists today, long after the classification system has been developed and generally accepted as a standard: 1. People don't always follow the standard. For example, many plants have common names that remain firmly entrenched. Let's face it, everybody knows what a sunflower is, but how many would recognize it's official name of Helianthus annuus? How many could even pronounce it? 2. As our collective knowledge increases, the standard classifications may be changed. In the 1990s, florist mums stopped being Chrysanthemum and became Dendranthema. After years of debate, they became Chrysanthemum again. Go figure.
